SEXUAL FETISHES AND CRIME
“Chastity: The most unnatural of the sexual perversions” (Aldous Huxley)
A seemingly “silly” fetish crime can be an indicator that a person is planning or capable of a more serious crime. Take the fetish crime of stealing underwear, for example. It’s commonly done as a college prank, but it just might mean that a person is working their way up to rape. It shows that a person has no problem invading privacy, taking a souvenir of their accomplishment, and possessing something that is as close to the victim’s skin as possible. Something other than underwear might be involved — socks are a common souvenir of would-be pedophiles, and hair (“haircut bandits”) might indicate a slasher-type murderer in the works. Not much is known about what Peeping Toms would graduate into. Many serial killers have fetishes, like Joel Rifkin, for example, who stole underwear, but as with any fetish, it probably only escalates into a major crime when there are additional psychodynamics such as rage, self-loathing, and uncontrollable urges.
(Warning: Explicit Content) This lecture isn’t about “normal” or average sex, the domain of Kinsey reports and NORC (National Opinion Research Center) studies, which say the average person has sex 79 times a year, for a total of 28 minutes each time, mostly (75% of the time) with the same partner each year, and mostly (97% of the time) in the missionary position with occasional enjoyment over watching one’s partner undress. Instead, this A-Z page is about deviant sex, defined as any sexual preference, interest, or obsession out of the ordinary and/or problematic. Also, not every type of deviant sex listed is a fetish, as the title suggests, since transsexualism and transgenderism, for example, are not considered fetishistic behavior. Many things, of course, are out of the ordinary without being deviant, and something becomes problematic only when it interferes with functioning. For example, a foot fetish becomes problematic when it leads to fetish burglaries and assaults. Lesser degrees of problematic occur when a loathing develops for self and others like yourself. Sexual identity crisis, of course, have been linked to a number of serial murderers, such as Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy, Ed Kemper, and Jeffrey Dahmer. There’s also sexual addiction, which usually means: (1) failure to control interests and obsessions; and (2) persistence in the face of negative consequences on acting out those interests. Probably only a small percentage of people who engage in the behaviors on this page can be considered deviant, problematic, or addicts, but I’ve cast as wide a net as possible for exploratory purposes.
Deviant sex is often manifested as part of various psychological problems. In people without psychological problems, it can be just a nihilistic attitude, bad habit they’re aware of, or some quirk to their personality. However, it may be possible that sexual deviance goes hand-in-hand with some of the exact kind of personality disorders that criminals, and especially serial criminals, have. At least that’s one of my research questions. Sexual deviance is also somewhat associated with affective and anxiety disorders as well as attention deficit disorder, but the criminal personality connection seems the strongest. With criminals, sexual deviance serves as a bridge or springboard for life in a fantasy world. It takes them away from experiencing inadequacy, anger, and frustration to worlds of seeking out deviant sex featuring control, dominance, and danger. Most people are able to draw the line when they see their favorite fetish turning them into a criminal, but for others, crime may become just another dangerous world to explore.

Adult Babies — a form of S&M and humiliation (also called age-play or infantilism) regularly portrayed on the Jerry Springer show (among other places). The basic idea involves a fairly visually offensive large man (generally six-foot, 250 pounds) to dress up in a diaper, baby bonnet, and wet their pants. Psychologically dependent individuals report an experience of release in having their every care attended to by a dominant “Dommy Mommy” who provides not only the breakdown experience, but a crib, changing table, cream, powder, pacifier, toys, and bondage equipment. Sometimes, a rebirthing experience is role-played as a kind of counseling therapy.
Anal Sex — a popular form of sexual intercourse that was called buggery from medieval times to the end of the 19th century. Estimates are that 50% of the population has tried it. Enthusiasts (straight, gay, and bisexual) like the grip rectal muscles have versus vaginal muscles. Some people who like anal penetration also like analingus (rimming) and other forms of butt play. The area has a high concentration of nerve endings, and the muscles are only under partial voluntary control. For men, it stimulates the prostrate gland which is about the length of the middle finger up. For women, it simulates sensations of fullness and spasms. Part of the appeal is that it’s taboo. Another appeal is the desire to turn on first-timers. If it hurts, they say you’re not doing it right (slowly enough), and people with hemorrhoids, diarrhea, etc. should avoid it. Sexual sadists abuse it to inflict pain and suffering. A small percentage (about 5%) of enthusiasts get a kick out of seeing it produce rectal bleeding, and blood fetishes beyond that are rare.
Anime/Cartoons/Hentai/Manga — enthusiasts are technically known as otaku (japanese for anime fan), and most of these cartoons have a hardcore, bondage, or rubber/latex flavor. Erotic art has been around, of course, since antiquity, but anime and hentai are more like the adult versions of “new animation” cartoons (like Sailor Moon). The Japanese government requires censorship (blotting out) of genitalia in any picture showing penetration (with the toon showing that “look” of painful enjoyment), but easily downloadable programs like G-mask can remove the censorship masking. Other cartoon images range from Betty Boop, Disney, the Flintsones, and Jetsons to highly erotic fantasy artwork (sometimes featuring penetration by laboratory devices, aliens, or cephalopod squids). Manga art is the most popular American variant, coming from the underground comix culture of R. Crumb and followers. The mutant alien (with tentacles) space theme is probably the most popular, followed by a vegetation or animal fetish, and then only about 30% thoroughly enjoy that degrading “look” on the victim’s face. A higher percentage enjoys something of the same “look” in hardcore cumshot photos.
BBW (Big Beautiful Women) — derogatively called fatties, chubbies, or plumpers, a preference for BBW or XxxLarge women tends to be a fetish popular in the South for some reason. In its passive form, it mostly involves the love of amateur photos and movies. In its active form, it can involve wife swapping, orgies, and sex toy insertions. The appeal, of course, is the size, and the attitude that you’re with a real woman (big breasts and thunderous thighs). Enthusiasts claim the orgasms of BBW are greater. A milder variation of it is called big tits fetish. Nipple fetishes also exist, as well as the opposite of big, little people, or what goes by the name of midget sex.
BDSM (Bondage Discipline SadoMasochism) — BDSM is a broad term that covers more activities than can be named, and there’s a distinct difference between the medical meaning of Sadism and Masochism and SM community uses of these terms. Master-slave play is consensual, with the submissive role pretending to want something they do not, and pretending as if they want to stop (usually a spanking). If one party no longer wishes to play, she or he utters a certain word, called a safeword, to stop the play. BDSMers are quite able to achieve orgasm in ordinary ways, but much of it involves the enjoyment of orgasm during “discipline” or “bondage”. Not everyone is into DS or bondage (probably less than 50%), and an even smaller percentage are into long-term roleplaying, playacting, or the heavier aspects. There are public venues one can go to staffed by trained dungeon monitors. Enthusiasts often enjoy the wearing of special clothing. Leather garments, hoods, chains, restraints, paddles, whips, and other paraphernalia found in a discipline room or dudgeon add to a visual appeal since only a small percentage (about 5%) actually have garment fetishes. Sexual orientation can be varied: heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, or “switch” roles. Researchers have failed to uncover any insights into what causes a BDSM interest, other than possible biological factors and ruling out childhood abuse.
Bestiality — the love or lust of animals, occurring primarily in rural areas. On the love side, “zoophilia” means having a genuine feeling for an animal where sexual desires are not consciously present, but nevertheless there. On the lust side, “zooerasty” means to have intercourse or masturbation with an animal. There are a number of types of sexual orientations and behaviors, from fellatio, cunnilingus, anal and vaginal intercourse, masturbation, fisting, to head thrusting. Little data exists on the most commonly involved animals nor the reasons for this fetish.
Chastity Belts/Locking Corsets — also called knickers, bloomers, and including the world of specialized G-string lingerie, the wearing of such clothing has been associated with BDSM play from the beginning. It’s a myth that chastity belts were used during the crusades. They’re uncomfortable to wear for any length of time. There’s a necrophiliac connection as in the 19th century, corpses were put in their coffins with them. In the 20th century, doctors prescribed them for young males to keep from masturbating. Today, the practice is popular in parts of the gay community, Femdom/malesub relations, and with flogging. The full outfit is made of metal and includes a bra connected by chains. Sometimes the outfit contains the possibility of adding one or two plugs (for women) and a tube (for men). A piercing variant involves rings that lock together. Sex is usually accomplished by masturbation or orally by tempting someone to use the key to unlock the outfit. A few outfits allow vaginal and/or anal sex, but the main characteristic is a lock-me-up (continually) fantasy. A few enthusiasts try to wear their outfits under their clothes to work, church, or school.
Dirt Fethishes — technically called mysophilia and considered a cousin to coprophilia (the fetishization of shit). Exists in a variety of forms, but most commonly perhaps among gay (closeted) men who find soil stains, dirt, and filth erotic (“jock-sniffing”). Hetero inclinations are also common with panty fetishes (used underwear) and enjoyment of mud wrestling. Other varieties involve eating animal poop, cleaning the floor with one’s tongue, eating cigarette butts, or drinking dirty water from a flower vase (among others). Sometimes combined with the viewing of pornography or an exhibitionist to make the experience more erotic.
Dr. Exams/Gyno/Enemas — essentially role-playing games involving vulnerability and humiliation, a master, “daddy”, doctor, or other authority figure either romantically or strictly examines the bottom to make the receiver think about the bad things they’ve been doing, such as having had sex with others. The game comes in at least two varieties: punishment-discipline or medical exam. In punishment mode, there’s usually no sex involved, maybe a spanking. In medical examination mode, oral sex may be forced upon the receiver. The 2 quarts required for a full enema (no more, sometimes less) are in themselves capable of triggering orgasms. Alcohol and cold water should never be used. Some people believe coffee enemas are as effective in treating cancer as high colonics are for detoxification.
Edge Play — encompasses a variety of sex games such as asphyxiation, suspension bondage, electricity play, cutting, piercing, branding, enemas, watersports, and scat where the degree of risk and danger involving death is great. Enthusiasts claim to know the human body better than most medical professionals, and try to exercise reasonable safety in going to the point of near-death and then resuscitation. Some people believe that choking can be done safely by pressing on the arteries and avoiding pressure on the windpipe. Edge play can be done solo or with a partner. About 250 deaths a year occur because of “hanging off” or other solo play, and an unknown additional number of cases involving partners.
Exhibitionism/Voyeurism/Hidden Cams — contrary to popular belief about strippers and exotic dancers, exhibitionists are almost always male twenty-somethings who have an irresistible, compulsive need to expose their genitals in front of unsuspecting strangers and achieve a sense of exhilaration by seeing people react with amazement or shock. They feel no shame or remorse, are mostly incurable, and make up a significant proportion of all sex offenders the police pick up every year. A voyeur (French for watcher), or “peeping Tom” has an irresistible, repetitive urge to spy on others through windows or doors, in public toilets, in parks, on beaches, and particularly enjoys watching others have sex. Enthusiasts of hidden cameras simply use technology instead of personal presence, but not all users of hidden cams are voyeurs. Both groups do not want to harm anyone, are driven by life stress, and will usually run once discovered. The sexual gratification is in doing something forbidden. Occasionally, one hears of a voyeur who asks their victim to touch or masturbate him, and even more rarely, one who tries to force sexual intercourse on their victim.
Fisting — a form of anal sex based upon the enjoyment of feelings of pressure and fullness. Rectal pressure is accomplished by inserting several fingers or the entire hand and forearm into the rectum and sometimes into the lower colon. Fisting is generally practiced with both parties in more of a variety of positions than possible with anal sex. It is sometimes practiced by lesbian couples. Occasionally, enjoyment is had by losing objects such as watches or rings while fisting.
Foot Fetishes — a variety of sexual attractions to feet, in their most prevalent order of occurrence: foot tickling; foot worship; foot licking; foot masturbation; small feet; foot sucking; foot odor; shoe worship; large feet; leather shoes/boots; high heeled shoes; tennis shoes; cotton socks; plump toes; painted nails; sandals; foot bondage; and toe jam licking or eating. Shoe fetishes may be closely related, but the attraction there, like with jockstrap sniffing, may be odor or taste.
Hair Fetishes — a variety of softcore and hardcore interests, mostly focused around the smell and feel of hair, also the smell of certain hairsprays, shampoos, and lather. In short, all aspects of hair are fantasized about. Enthusiasts claim an interest since childhood and are especially interested in shampoo commercials on TV. A few hetero voyeurs like the look of women with hairy underarms, or men with hairy chests, but there’s also a gay subcommunity involving “musclebears” with hairy chests. Then, there’s transvestite hair salons or spas where the full treatment involves a haircut, hair massage, shampoo, and rollers. The shampoo and rollers ritual is also shared by straight enthusiasts. Long, upright hair (beehive, flip, etc.) is perhaps the most common fetish, followed by long, straight hair, followed by curly hair, followed by short, stubbly hair. Enthusiasts like to put the hair in their mouth during sex, but many achieve orgasm just by touching the hair or by masturbating (sometimes on the hair itself, but not always).
Infantilism/AB (see Adult Babies) — a scene in which adults or teens dress up in diapers and act like children. Diaper loving and diaper fetishises are found more commonly outside the U.S., but are becoming more popular inside the U.S. thanks to American talk shows. Understanding infantilism requires knowing that it has nothing to do with transvestism, sadomasochism, or pedophilia. There can, of course, be humiliating aspects of it used in punishment sex rituals, but for the most part, the interest centers around the romantic, caring behaviors of the “mommy” and an attraction to the clothing and accessories (panties, restraints, “nurseries”, bibs, bonnets, bottles, Pooh Bears, and sometimes erotic comic books). Enthusiasts (both male and female) claim an interest since childhood, and simply want to enter a cozy, comfortable world in which nonsexual play and conversation predominates.
Inflatables — an erotic interest in toy balloons and/or vinyl toys/rafts by both straight and bi/gay balloon lovers similar to other fetishes like lingerie, leather, rubber, latex, or spandex. It’s considered more imaginative than using blow-up dolls. Enthusiasts enjoy inflating, playing with, bursting or watching their partners inflate and play with or burst inflatables. Certain manufacturers cater to this market with specially shaped products, none of which are usually inserted but placed around the breasts or public region and then burst suddenly to achieve a sense of orgasm. Air is the fetish, and breasts on women are commonly focused on, as evidenced by popularity of the inflatable bikini.
Interracial — aside from skin color preferences in terms of choosing partners in the worlds of prostitution and straight sex, most interracial fetishes involve masturbation while looking at pictures. Asian, Black, Latina, and Indian are the most popular interests, and the porn comes in softcore, hardcore, and fetish varieties. In the Asian category, young japanese and thai girls are commonly seen giving oral sex. Garter-laden Black women are commonly seen in anal or group positions (and in the world of porn, “interracial” means black man-white woman while “ebony”, or more specifically “ebony on ivory” means “white man-black woman”). Asian, Latina and Indian women are seen in a variety of positions.
Latex/Rubber — predominantly a heterosexual (75%) interest among thirty-somethings who like to be partially submissive, but also including bondage, mummification, and endurance (training) rituals. Enthusiasts claim to have better sex than non-enthusiasts. Preferences vary by color (black, red, blue being the most common) and by theme or equipment: Sci-Fi (Cleopatra 2525), latex/PVC catsuits (VIP, Lara Croft), neoprene tanksuits (Baywatch), rubber thigh boots (Betty Page, Avengers), masks (Madonna), sheath dresses (BarbWire), breathable Cire fabric (Britney Spears, Janet Jackson), liquid latex (Shania Twain), Mackintosh rainwear (Trinity in Matrix), and coated lycra (WWF) Wearers like to put it on 2-3 times a week, and some dare to go out in public. Partial nudity, long legs, and breathtaking good looks are desired by appreciators in what sometimes borders on goddess worship.
Leather — one of the most basic fetish “scenes” (Playboy estimates 30-40% of the population likes it). There are different communities, worlds, or “tribes”. The whole world of “leather” is sometimes abbreviated SM (sadomasochism) or referred to as “SM Leather Fetish Groups”, because SM is considered by enthusiasts as a type of sexual orientation, but in all fairness, it’s a mild SM that clearly separates pain from cruelty. DS (for Dominance Submission) is a more accurate description since fear and humiliation are more commonly used than pain. Blindfolds, mild spanking, and tying someone up are common activities. Other than the biker, Goth, and self-bondage (body adornation) worlds, two leather worlds predominate: (1) leathermistresses; and (2) leathermen. A leathermistress (or fem Domme, not Dominatrix) is found in the heterosexual/lesbian community when men are almost always submissive and women dominant. Open back, open top, and open bottom outfits are popular and come in Teddy, corset, and choker varieties. A leatherman (pony or bear) is found in the gay/bisexual community which is more characterized by BD than DS where open armpit and open bottom outfits are popular. Leather requires a good deal more care than latex, rubber, or PVC (“wetlook” plastic coated fabric). Enthusiasts adhere to a complex hanky code that essentially identifies top/bottom preference, occupation, and type of kink. A “top” (dominant or giver) signifies to the left while a “bottom” (submissive or receiver) signifies to the right. A black hankie means heavy sex, blue means cop, white means sailor, red means fisting, pink means dildo, rust means cowboy, fuschia means spanking, and green means “daddy/orphan” play, etc.
Lesbian & Gay — aside from the meaning of these terms for sexual identity, most homoerotic fetishes usually begin with looking at pictures or action of girls doing girls or guys doing guys (not the typical route for bisexuals, however). As the lesbian-watching stage progresses, it starts to matter to the voyeur if the girls are pretending to be lesbians or not. With gay-watching, progression can occur all the way up to so-called “extreme gay” which refers to bondage. If you ask 20 different lesbians or gays what they consider sex, you’ll get 20 different answers, but most agree that it’s not penetration that matters, but the intent to share, give, or receive an orgasm, which can take place in a number of ways such as rubbing, dress-up, or role playing. Some lesbians and gays, however, insist on penetration, but handjobs, oral sex, and sex toys are probably more common.
Macrophilia — a love of extremely tall non-fat women (a giantess, as in Attack of the 50 foot woman), hence the common abbreviation, GTS, for this fetish which exists in various forms, ranging from frequent imaginary contexts in anime, cartoons, and folklore to actual dominance by a woman usually 6’6″ or taller.
Older/Mature Women — defined as “women over 30″, “women over 40″, and then getting into the “granny” category, this is both a sexual orientation and voyeur (porn) fetish. The “over 30″ category tends to be a little less hardcore than the “over 40″ category, and as you move up in age, the more humorous it gets, with blue colored wigs and so forth. The attraction requires the partner of the older woman to be younger.
Orgies — defined as anything involving a five-some or more, this is an integral part of the world of swinging. Three-way and four-some action is considered “straight” by enthusiasts. There are several standard orgy fantasies, including: slaves; Egypt sex; barrooms; mountain cabins; yachts, and classrooms.
Pantyhose/Legs/Heels — in contexts other than panty/upskirts, this involves a glorification and/or worship of femininity in the form of women’s clothing, or in the case of legs, of the women themselves. Although interests vary by sexual orientation, this is mostly a hetero fetish involving solo or group sex with at least one of the partners dressed in garter belts, pantyhose, high heels, and sometimes gloves (as in the outfits of most porn stars). There’s some, but not all that much, preference attached to the material the clothing is made out of.
Pissing/Scat/Vomit – mostly guy-on-girl and sometimes associated with preggie and upskirt fetishes, watersports is probably the broader term and urine fetish is perhaps a better name for the variety of interests in this area, including holding it in when you have to go, watching someone go, peeing on someone, and drinking it. Scat play, which involves feces and sometimes vomit, is perhaps based on the idea that the more obscene the better. In the BDSM world, “toilet servitude” refers to handling feces or being defecated on. In the scat world, shit eating or smearing it all around the body is seen as erotic.
Pregnant/Lactating — a preference for “preggies” is usually associated with an interest in hardcore sex, but is also a fulfilling part of romantic straight sex and/or fascination with the female form (belly and breasts). Oral/anal sex is common, lactating breasts are sucked, stroked, and pinched, and there’s pregnant sex slave and other fantasies. Not necessarily related is the “fat chick” fetish.
Shaving/Shaved — a fetish in which the sight of a shaved or bald pubic area is sexually arousing, and secondarily, the sight of someone actually shaving their pubic region. With the latter, there’s also usually an attraction to the odor of shaving cream, and with both, there’s the slippery feel. One of the claims made by those who advocate the “Brazilian wax” to remove all hair in the pubic region is that sex feels better.
Shoe — see Foot Fetish
Smoking — a fetish that involves finding a woman or girl lighting a cigarette exciting and sexy. It’s something about the total package; the way they light it, inhale and exhale (thru the nostrils indicates an attraction to the nose), hold it between their fingers, seeing the pack of cigarettes on the table, and feeling the cigarette smoke itself. Pipes and cigars are even more enticing to some people. Others enjoy the sound of a smoky, raspy voice (and sometimes coughing). Enthusiasts tend to be collectors of softcore or hardcore pictures showing models or celebrities holding a cigarette, with the classic erotica of long-stemmed cigarette holders being traditional. Hardcore enthusiasts like to see the cigarette (or cigar) lit and held close (or partially inserted) near the vagina. Others use the cigar for a dildo.
Smothering/Face Sitting — the most popular form of suffocation and/or strangulation done in an erotic context (generally known as breath control play, more properly as asphyxiophilia). Usually, a big-bottomed woman sits on a man’s face intentionally (and with consent) until unconsciousness or cardiac arrest occurs. Then, the receiver is resuscitated by CPR or defibrillator. Oxygen and/or the near-death experience are the fetish along with a discernible liking for cunnilingus or anilingus. Generally, a state of unconsciousness is prolonged for no more than 60 seconds. Smothering is sometimes done in a three-way position.
Sneezing/Coughing/Hiccups — a coughing fetish involves finding women who cough as something fascinating, appealing and sexy. Enthusiasts often don’t know why they find this appealing and report it’s an interest since early childhood. Perhaps it’s the sound, the facial expression, the way of moving the body, the way the chest expands, or the way the hand covers the mouth. A hiccuping fetish among males usually involves a preference for seeing big breasted or pregnant women hiccuping. For females, it’s usually seeing male celebrities or authority figures with the hiccups. For both, the turn-on is that it’s uncontrollable and publicly embarrassing. It’s rare to see sex while hiccuping, so the practice is usually confined to fantasy or a precursor to sex with both parties regressing to a childlike state of kidding, ridiculing, and tickling each other.
Spanking — other than the mild forms of it associated with SM Leather worlds or straight sex, this is a fetish characterized by sexual arousal (for both giver and receiver) over seeing a red bottom.
Sploshing — an extremely messy fetish involving eroticism associated with the dumping of food (e.g. spaghetti) onto one’s own or another’s crouch.
TG/TS/TV (Transgendered/Transsexual/Transvestite) — These are not technically fetishistic behaviors. A transgenderist lives as the gender of the opposite sex or otherwise transgresses gender norms. Transsexuals see themselves as having a sexual identity opposite their assignment at birth (sexual orientation varies). Transvestites (transvestic fetishists) enjoy wearing clothes of the opposite gender, and are often but not always straight. People who have a compelling need to cross-dress have a special relationship with clothes and are usually secure in their gender identity but feel socially constrained about their cross gender expression. Consequently, when they get a chance to cross-dress, they feel immense relief. Psychologists call this condition gender dysphoria, and the indicated treatment is sexual reassignment surgery. Cross-dressers (the polite term for transvestites) are usually heterosexuals, and often masturbate while cross-dressed. Transsexuals can be straight (primary transsexual) or gay (secondary transsexual) but almost always feel that they were identified with the wrong gender at birth. Variations are abundant, but it helps to remember that sexual orientation refers to who you’re attracted to (hetero, homo, bi); sexual identity refers to how you see yourself (male, female, in-between), and gender identity refers to how you present yourself socially (man, woman, androgynous). It’s an incredible insult to refer to a transgendered person in the opposite gender of how they are expressing themselves.
Toys/Objects/Veggies — other than cigars and balloons which are associated more with smoking and rubber fetishes, this area encompasses strap-ons, dildos, vibrators, butt plugs, as well as the following in rough order of popularity: fruit, bananas, zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, and weird insertions (handles, bottles, cans, and candles). Much of the weird stuff is done for amusement purposes only, but enthusiasts take their dildos, vibrators, and plugs quite seriously and always seem to be in search of bigger and better equipment.
Uniforms/Fantasy — the broader world of fantasy often involves just talking to your mate, and the fetish world of dressing-up involves at least the following in rough rank order of popularity: cheerleader; waitress; nurse; maid; secretary; office worker; schoolgirl; fitness trainer; prison guard; postal worker; military; cleopatra; ballerina; cab driver; and nun.
Upskirts — a type of voyeurism as a prelude to sex in which the man usually sneakily looks up his partner’s skirt and/or under her panties in order to get sexually aroused. It’s also associated with an appreciation for used panties, the wearing of panties (by men), and fetishes involving legs or women’s garments. Sometimes, the enthusiast like his/her panties to be pee- or pooh-stained.
WAM (Wet and Messy) — wamming or gunging is the use of various lotion-like substances to have sex play with. Use of stickier substances (like honey, jam, or marshmallow fluff) is sometimes called food bondage. Body painting, whipped cream licking, and food fighting are milder forms of wamming. The goal is usually to find common household items that are slippery, edible, and don’t stain or sting the skin. Jello stains, for example, while pudding doesn’t. Margarine is better than butter, for example, because butter and milk products stink on the skin. Alcohol and sugar products should be kept away from the vaginal area. Trash bags or dropcloths are usually placed on the floor, and shaved pubic hair is often a prerequisite. Wamming can be done with one sexual partner at a time or in orgy fashion, although most wammers prefer one partner at a time. The appeal is that it stimulates all five senses at the same time.
Watersports — a term used to describe mainly three (3) different sex acts involving pee: (1) watching people do it in (a) their pants, (b) the toilet, or (c) the air; (2) golden showers, or the feel of urine on the skin; and (3) drinking warm piss, this last group tending to consist of submissives. There’s also forms of masturbation involving the wearing of wet adult diapers, and much, much more.
